God Almighty has given us the only truth in his Holy Scriptures. The Bible is the Word of God Almighty which has all knowledge contained within it. It contains all the means to any end. It has power within its self. The Bible is the only book where God Almighty himself has placed his hands and literally written therein. Beware and understand that once read and understood the word of God Almighty holds each of us accountable from that point of understanding. We know that there is a line drawn in the sands of eternity and whether we know it or not or whether we believe it or not, we stand on one side or the other. We are all on the side of truth or we are on the side of untruth. Chose the truth: we must choose the truth. We know that there is no second chance when the end comes. And it will come. God Almighty has said it and has set the end of eternity present.

It is false assumptions and misinformation that lead to false conclusions. This book will point out many of the false religious assumptions people frequently make which keep them from finding the path to true eternal life with God. Several mysteries of God are unfolded in this book which will bring people to a greater knowledge of God and his works among mankind.

In this book, you will understand why your plans in life always seem to take a different turn from the direction you originally set and looked forward to. Not all paths in life lead to adventure and fun, but some do lead to a place of purpose. It is not a bad thing when you dont get your way, for God overrules the plans of those who He has predestined to fulfill His purpose. No matter what type of environment you are in or are very comfortable in, you will start to understand and adjust to new and exciting environments. Your path will feel like an adventure at times, and you may ask yourself, What in the world am I doing here? Your path in life will start looking like a puzzleincomplete, but portraying something that is taking life and showing you how you got there. Knowing Gods plans for you and understanding the path you are on simplifies the meaning to your life.

Waiting on God is not waiting for God to come. God lives within us. Waiting on God is looking up to God and drawing close to Him. Waiting on God is not just a temporary emotion, and just spending a short period of time quietly before God. Waiting on God is a lifelong practice. Are you seeking spiritual renewal? Do you long for heavenly fulfillment that is far beyond your wildest imagination? Spend time waiting on God, forget about everything else, sink deeply into the ocean of the Lord’s love, and allow yourself to disappear into the glorious presence of God. 等候神不是等神來，神就住在我們裡面，等候神就是仰望神、親近神。 等候神不是一時興起的情緒，花一小段時間安靜在神面前而已；等候神是一生的操練。 您在尋求屬靈的更新嗎？您是否渴望獲得遠超過您最大想像的屬天滿足？本書將教導讀者如何花時間等候神，深深地沉入主愛的海洋，讓自己消失在神榮耀的同在中。
